Camera lost power mid-recording? File won't open in any player? Drop it in — we rebuild the container index so it plays again. Over 1 GB? Paste a Google Drive link instead.
What are you uploading?
A single video file
MP4, MOV, MKV from a phone, action cam, DSLR or single clip
The whole folder from your camera card
Sony PXW, Panasonic AVCHD, Canon Cinema — multi-clip recordings
Click the drop zone above to open the folder picker, or drag your camera card folder onto it. Your folder is packaged into a single archive inside your browser's memory only (nothing is written to your disk, nothing leaves your machine until you click Start recovery), then uploaded directly to our server. Works up to ~4 GB. For larger folders, or if the files live in OneDrive/Dropbox "online-only" mode, use the Google Drive tab.
A short healthy clip from the same camera. Helps a lot when your broken file's structure is fully destroyed — and your contribution teaches the system to recover files from this camera without a reference for the next user.
✓ No reference file needed. Folder uploads contain all the clips and structure we need — the healthy clips inside the folder act as their own reference for any that need rebuilding.
Right-click your file or folder in Drive → Share → set "General access" to Anyone with the link → Copy link. We download from Google's servers directly (no local upload).
📁 Folder uploads are for multi-clip cameras
(Sony XDCAM/XAVC PRIVATE/XDROOT/, Panasonic AVCHD,
etc.) — paste a Drive folder URL and we'll pull the entire tree,
concatenate the clips, and return a single MP4.
A healthy recording from the same camera. Improves recovery rate.
✓ No reference file needed. Folder URLs contain all the clips and structure we need.
Tip: works for any file size. Server pulls from Google directly, so your computer can sleep while it processes.
Shot on a professional camera card? Sony PXW/FS/FX/Z-series (XDCAM/XAVC), Panasonic AVCHD, and similar cameras save your shoot as a folder of clips. Pick "the whole folder" above — we'll concatenate the clips into a single playable MP4. For folders over 4 GB, share via Google Drive and paste the folder link.
Works on H.264, HEVC, MPEG-4, AverMedia c285 captures, Canon Cinema MJPEG, Sony XDCAM/XAVC, and counting — every new camera teaches the system.
